    I didn't have time to say what I really wanted to say the other day but I'm really outgoing and love to have fun and in high school I had a ton of friends...when I got married they all seemed to disappear.
    I have a few in college that I talk to often but have barely hung out outside of school and stuff.
    I also have two good friends that I hangout with from college and we often find ourselves in not being able to because of our schedules.
    I also find it hard to do anything outside of school since i'm maxed out on credit hours...even this summer I'm taking 5 classes and haven't had time to just hang with anyone.
    Every time i try to set something up with older friends from high school they're super excited then everyone bails out at the last minute.

    I never had a problem making friends. If you are a positive, happy person people will be drawn to you.

    i think this blames everyone on this forum, that has responded that they do have trouble, for their lazy 'acquaintance' type friendships.

    i'm not gonna lie, i cringed at a lot of people that said friendship comes easily to them...but then went on to say they don't have deep friendships. that is what everyone is saying, you aren't any more special than the rest of us. everyone on here has clearly put themselves out there for others at one point or another.

    Well, I'm quite positive. I'm always smiling and laughing (I've actually gotten made fun of for "laughing too much" once). People just don't stick with me. Right now, I can honestly say I only have 5 very close friends. I love them dearly, but sometimes I wish I could meet and befriend new people. It never works out for me though. They usually form their own "clique" and I'm shut out of it.

    I have no friends :(

    My depression has a huge part to play in this.

    I don't have a hard time making them, but I do have a hard time keeping them.

    yes! there are very few people I clique with. My ex was my bff, I still consider him a friend, sometimes I fear I will never find that again in another person

    me too, but then, I always have. I always was interested in things that other kids weren't--theatre, classic movies, old music, etc. I give myself credit for never trying to "act normal" for the sake of being popular! But at the same time, because I had nothing in common with other kids, I never learned how to really make friends! There's three other girls in my old neighborhood that I grew up very close with--they're more like siblings (I'm an only child as well) really. Our parents were friends and we grew up together, and they're there when i REALLY need a friend--but, we have little in common and they aren't the type of friends that I go to the movies or travel with. They're there for the big things though, if that makes any sense (kind of like family).

    I dropped out of high school to pursue a career in theatre and never went to college, so I didn't have the opportunity to form close friendships in college or anything. And now, the closer I get to 30, the more people seem to not NEED or WANT to make friends--they're set with their group already.

    As a result I'm fairly independent, have travelled to other countries alone many times...but, sometimes it would be nice to have a friend I can call up on a lazy Saturday and meet up for brunch with.

    Plus, I moved away from NYC for a few years--now that I'm back, a lot of the people I used to hang out with have either moved or I just have zero in common with (since I no longer work in theatre). it sucks :-(
